NECK-PRO head restraint
NECK-PRO head restraints are designed to
increase protection to the driver's and front-
passenger's head and neck. To this end, the
head restraints on the driver's and front-
passenger seats are moved forwards and
upwards in the event of a rear-end collision in
the direction of travel. This provides better
head support.
G
Risk of injury
Head restraint covers prevent the NECK-
PRO head restraints from triggering cor-
rectly. Consequently, the NECK-PRO head
restraints cannot provide the intended level
of protection. Do not use head restraint
covers.
If the NECK-PRO head restraints are triggered
in an accident, you must reset the head
restraints on the driver's and front-passenger
seats (
Y
page 269). Head restraints that have
been triggered are tilted forwards.
Children in the vehicle
If a child is riding in your vehicle, secure the
child using a child restraint system appropri-
ate to the size and age of the child and
approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Pref-
erably, you should fit the restraint system on
a suitable rear seat. Preferably, you should fit
it to a suitable rear seat. Make sure that the
child is strapped in throughout the trip.
You can obtain information about the correct
child restraint system from any Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre.
i It is advisable to use Mercedes-Benz care
products to clean child restraint systems.
You can obtain information about this from
any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
G
Risk of injury
Do not leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle, even if they are secured in a child
restraint system. The children could injure
themselves on parts of the vehicle. They
could also be seriously or even fatally
injured by prolonged exposure to extreme
heat or cold.
Do not expose the child restraint system to
direct sunlight. The metallic parts of the
child restraint system could heat up and the
child could be burned by them.
If the children open the door other persons
could be injured. They could get out and
injure themselves or be injured by a passing
vehicle.
You should also observe the information on
HOLD; see the index.
G
Risk of injury
An unsecured or incorrectly positioned load
increases the risk of injury to the child in
the event of:
R
an accident
R
a braking manoeuvre
R
a sudden change of direction
Do not carry heavy or hard objects inside
the vehicle unless they are secured. You
will find further information under "Loading
guidelines" in the index.

use the child restraint systems listed on
